26, 1830. He came to America at the age of 11 years, his father being a 
Baptist minister and one of the pioneer circuit rider preachers of this

The family settled near Springfield and later Mr. Kingham upon his marriage 
lived in Franklin and then moved to Casstown building a home here shortly 
after the Civil War.

About three years ago because of the infirmities of age he went to live with a 
son in Conover and for the last three months has been at the Odd Fellows home 
at Springfield, at which place he passed away Thursday July 8, 1920 being only 
a few months less than 90 years old.

Mr. Kingham had been married twice, his last wife passing away in 1913. Of the 
five children born to the last union, two are living, Walter of Troy and Harry 
of Indianapolis. The children of the first wife living are James of 
Indianapolis, William of Conover and Mrs. Martha Mottoe of Maplewood.
For many years he was a member of the Lutheran Church and the Casstown 
I.O.O.F. Lodge and was especially grateful to the Odd fellows for their 
kindness to him in his later years.

He was a broom manufacture for practically all the time of his residence at 
Casstown and was well known throughout the country. He was a kind father and 
an industrious citizen and his deeds of kindness will be remembered many years 
by his relatives and friends.
